Hay! I'll have you know I had to fill in and finish grind two bullet holes in those damn things before getting them chromed. Probably from some Chevy guy.

Great job on the firewall!

That's exactly what it is. I'm using an Ansen dual pedal setup which is designed to use the early 60's GM pickup twin (brake/clutch) master cylinder. Just need to swap the innards from one side to the other to have the brake and clutch systems on the correct side (which takes all of 5 minutes) and then everything just bolts together. Don't for the life of me understand why Chevy's pedal linkage reversed the sides but that's just the way they did it.
